Denise and I share a high school alma mater. Well, we will, once she graduates from Highland Ranch High School next year. Oddly enough, I went to school in Highlands Ranch with Denise’s English teacher, Brian (or Mr. D to her), whom I’ve been friends with since the seventh grade. Personally I couldn’t wait to get out of high school, but it seems Brian didn’t quite get enough :)
Brian has been teaching Denise since her freshman year, and he told me a bit about her before her photo shoot. From the sound of it, she’s very hard-working, involved in all kinds of activities, and just overall a good egg. Turns out she’s also a lot of fun to photograph – it doesn’t take much to get her to laugh, which I always love.
Denise also gave me a little scoop on Brian as a teacher – apparently he is, in fact, one of the funny teachers at school. And he doesn’t allow texting during class. Good work Brian :)





Well, I try not to allow texting. Some times the kids are sneaky than me. Plus, I think she overstated how funny I am – most of the time the kids are laughing at me and not my jokes.
On an unrelated note, nice proper use of “whom.”
